Vote For GA resolution Gay Panic Defense Ban
Resolution Analysis
Overview
The resolution at-vote seeks to outlaw a legal defense strategy known as the "Gay Panic Defense", which is often employed to evade or mitigate prosecution for the use of force against non-straight and non-cisgender people based solely on their sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Recommendation
The Ministry believes that such a defense being employed, successfully, or not, represents a significant stain upon justice systems across the world. Not only does this flawed defense serve as an excuse to violate the civil liberties and freedoms of non-straight and non-cisgender people, it also degrades the concept of legitimate self-defense in the eyes of the public. As such, it is crucial that this egregious legal defense strategy is outlawed across all WA member states.
For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote FOR the resolution.
